Testimonials 2010
Dear Naomi,
On behalf of the Trinity After Party Committee and on behalf of the boys, their guests, and all the parent community, I just wanted to take this opportunity of thanking you and your colleagues for your contribution on Saturday night to what everyone agrees was an outstanding event.
The Committee has received really positive feedback from the boys and the school, so we feel that all of the planning was well worthwhile.
The fear and trepidation I felt leading up to the night proved to be completely misplaced and the Committee was delighted that, significantly through the work and visibility of your team, there were no ugly events or behaviours or excesses that might otherwise have given us cause for concern.
I was most impressed with the manner in which you surveyed and readied the premises prior to the arrival of the boys; dealt with the fire escape issues; dealt with the problem with the girls' toilet window; welcomed the guests in a polite but clear manner; and how you almost invisibly mingled so that your presence was understood but not resented.
Our 2 medical practitioners were gushing in their praise for your efforts as, apart from a couple of girls who appeared to have suffered from having a drink too many on the way to the venue, there were no issues of concern for them.
Thank you also for liaising with the local police and Sgt Goldstein to ensure we were able to use the facility. It was perfect for our needs.
The Committe can relax now - we're off the hook – but we will be recommending you to future committees and I do hope they will engage your services, not only for the provision of security but also to gain a better understanding of the whole issue of hosting safe parties, drugs, alcohol, violence, and adolescent behaviour.
Best regards

Dear Naomi,
I just wanted to say a huge thankyou for providing security for Josh's 16th on Saturday night. Steve and Lisa were very professional and made us feel very comfortable. Many parents commented on the security and we were happy to provide them with your details.
Thankyou once again for giving us the peace of mind and helping make the party a safe and fun night.
Kind Regards

Thank you so much for all your help before and on the night of Tom's party. It certainly made the party run smoothly and we could relax knowing that you were taking care of things out the front. Tom would also like to add his personal thanks - he was really pleased the way the party went and knows that you played a big part in that. Your input on the organisation was invaluable, particularly taking the byo alcohol to the bar and serving the kids their drinks - the idea was welcomed by the kids too as it meant they didn't have to worry about minding their alcohol. We received lots of positive comments from the guests about how well run the party was and how much fun they were having! I know a lot of that was due to the fact that your presence enabled us relax. We will certainly be recommending you to anyone we know who is planning a party for their teenager.
Thanks again,
Kind regards,

I felt very comfortable knowing that Shane and yourself were outside keeping an eye on arrivals and departures. I am glad you came in a few times and sorry I didn't think to take warm drinks out to you. The older attendees with kids of their own commented on how well the system worked and I gave your name to few at the time. The younger ones I overheard talking about how friendly you were. Well done you.
thanks again

They were highly professional and i was very impresed with the service i received. Having them there made the night very successful and a trouble free one

Naomi and crew helped out on the 16th birthday. Great mix of diplomacy and knowledge. Diplomatic with the majority who were there to have a fun time and decisive with those that were willing to test the party boundaries. Absolutely necessary and it meant that I didn’t have to have any conflict with my daughters friends – in the bigger picture of our relationship that was a very good idea. It was also the added expertise and knowledge in how to handle the range of situations that arose over the evening. Great party, all went smoothly – thanks Naomi wont hesitate next time to ring you.
Cheers Robyn

Hi Naomi,
Many thanks for manning the gate last Wednesday night during our daughters 18th. We were impressed by your low key handling of the guests and your attention to detail.
I particularly liked the way you came to our place the day before and did a reccie of the house and surroundings so that you knew exactly what to expect and plan for.
Our immediate neighbors, as well as the parents that attended the party, all commented on the polite way you interacted with them.
Your presence certainly put us in a relaxed frame of mind on what is a potentially stressful occasion.
Regards,

"Thank you to both you and Tim for your wonderful work as Security for Hannah's 18th birthday Party on Saturday night. We have received lots of praise for what a great night it was, with guests telling us how they enjoyed the venue, the food and the atmosphere.
I realise what a nightmare an 18th could have been, and we are lucky that the crowd was pretty well behaved. But importantly, you and Tim tactfully made sure that guests were clear on what the rules would be as they came in. Your watchful eyes and calm words throughout the night were most valuable, and I believe your presence contributed to the success of the party.
Thanks in particular for averting any potential trouble. I don't think there were many incidents, but I know you handled the few problems that arose with tact and diplomacy, difusing any conflict before it could be a problem. Your knowledge and experiece were evident in the way you handled things.
I would certainly use your company again, and would be happy to recommend U-nome to others"

Dear Naomi
Just a note to say thankyou to you and your staff for the great job they did at my daughters 21st on Sat 5th April
It was nice to know that we didn't have to worry about any trouble from gatecrashers if that problem arose. ( I think nowdays that it is at the back of parents minds when holding a party now). Luckily it didn't. Although my daugher had not heard of any trouble in our area we didn't want to be the first.
A special thankyou to Kevin for offering to comeback (after security had finished for the night) if we needed him. His offer was greatly appreciated .
The other two were greatly appreciated (Nat and Geoff)
Thankyou all
Yours faithfully

PS I would recommend you to anyone I knew that was thinking about security for a party.
Hi Naomi,
Thanks for the great work on Wednesday. I know that it may have got a bit dull later in the evening (for Carmen) but I think it was a wise idea to have the flat under observation during the whole event of the celebration. Only a few people attempted to get in unauthorised, but if the flat was unattended, or we had to worry about who had the keys and who locked it up, it would have been a headache.
I will recommend U-nome Security in the future.
Thanks again

It is so wonderful to work with a modern woman who knows her stuff about our bar industry.
Naomi provides us with great staff who do not look like burly thugs that scare our cliental.
They always present well and are kind and considerate to patrons and staff. It is so refreshing to have a wonderful working relationship with our very important security firm.
Naomi always checks in with us and asks for feedback and has the professionalism to make sure her staff are always up to date on issues and concerns as soon as they become apparent.
Thank goodness someone out there is doing their job right in this area.

Good morning Naomi,
I worked on Saturday night and I just though I would let you know that security did a great job! (Especially the lady with the black hair, I just can’t remember her name). That was the first time I’ve worked with them and I was impressed.

Dear Naomi,
We were very pleased with the management of the security for our son’s 18th birthday party by U-Nome Security. The courteous and professional manner of the personnel enabled the event to be run successfully while relieving my partner and I from the responsibility for managing the access to the party and policing the drink limit. Not having to think about gatecrashers or handling hassles that can occur at this type of event enables you to relax and enjoy the event yourself. The advice and checklist U-Nome provided before the event was also very helpful.
Regards,

Thanks Naomi. You and Dirk did a wonderful job. A
few parents have asked me about your business since. I don't think any
are about to jump into a teen party just yet, but I do think when the
time comes they will ask for your details. Of course I will put you
forward any where I can.
Warmest wishes from a very tired mum.

Dear Naomi, A big thank you to you and your team for all your hard work on Friday night. The Black and White Benefit really went off without a hitch and a large part of the safety and ease of the event was thanks to your team. It was fantastic the way you communicated with me and with each other and also the many and varied "helpers" we had on the night. Rebecca was thrilled with your support and with the way everything turned out. We are really grateful to Julie for recommending U-nome to us and would gladly recommend you to anyone who asks.

Dear Naomi
I would like to thank you personally for the assistance and service you provided to the Yea Autumn Festival in 2009.
As you are aware, the circumstances of the Victorian bushfires has had an unprecedented affect on communities within the shire of Murrindindi in particular.
Our event on the 15th March, needed to provide a safe day out for families and all age groups to enjoy live music, the arts and street performances across the day.
The service you provided to our community was outstanding. As a committee we felt valuable equipment and infrastructure was protected. You and your staff were well prepared, approachable and responsive to our needs.
Thank you again for helping us to provide a safe day for all those that participated in our festival.
Yours sincerely

U-Nome security came recommended and they didn't disappoint. Another security company let us down at short notice and Naomi was able to supply us with security for our event but when we also had a last minute venue change, she didn't bat a eyelid. I would have no hesitation in recommending Naomi and U-Nome security.

Employing U-nome Security was the best investment I have ever made in relation to a party. I was very apprehensive about hosting an 18th party on my property for 100 kids!!!!! I had a fantastic night. I felt absolutely confident that the children were in safe hands and my property was also being protected. I can't recommend this type of investment highly enough and this is coming from an anxious parent of todays teenagers.
Well done Naomi and thankyou for making my eldest sons 18th a happy and memorable one

Dear Naomi
Thankyou for providing an excellent security service on the night of my son's 18th birthday party. Your company U-Nome Security provided valuable support materials and advice prior to the party. On the night, the security was highly professional and at the same time intune and respectful of the teenage guests. We appreciated that during the night you regularly and unobtrusively mingled through the party just to keep an eye on things within as well as man the entrance. It is with great pleasure and without hessitation that we recommend U-Nome Security to others.
Yours Sincerely

Dear Naomi
we were thrilled with the level of security you and Dirk provided for our son's 17th birthday last Saturday. Your advice to us was sensible, direct and informed. Your manner was warm and welcoming for our guests and yet firm enough to be a deterrent to any unwelcome visitors. It was lovely for us to just be the parents and hosts for our son's friends and not have to be on the door, checking the perimeter and patrolling the party. We felt that everyone had a great time and was able to party safely,
thanks so much

Hi Naomi
The party went very well thank you. Steve and Annette did a great job. I would be very surprised if you didn’t get some follow up business because the parents of people who attended the party were very impressed. Special thanks to you for negotiating so well with Naomi(my daughter) prior to the party. It was most appreciated.
Kind regards

Yes it all went very well thanks! We didn’t have any trouble – but I was still glad to have the security for peace of mind and good to have someone at the front door all night with all the comings and goings. The kids were very good
Thanks so much for your help and advice and please pass on our thanks again to Shane and Tracey- they were so nice!
We will be recommending your company to other Tintern parents!

Just thought I would send a quick note of appreciation for the assistance you provided in making last Saturdays such a success.
A dual combined eighteenth could mean double the opportunity of something going wrong! However, thanks to your assistance, not just on the night but in the planning, the party went off without a problem, not even a broken glass. Not that the party was a quiet affair, as approximately 150 attendees and the dancing on steps at the end will attest too, but all was in good fun, good humor and with common sense.
From the very beginning dealing with U-nome, it was clear that we were getting a personalised service. You were able to advise me of who would be rostered on the night and there experience, unlike other security firms who were only able to tell me that we would be provided with "who ever is rostered on for the night." Your years of experience was invaluable and was evident all aspects of planning and on the night, things such as, 'No Glass Policy',
and having parents responsible for the alcohol were of great assistance. Despite some reluctance from Travis and Erin on these matters both agreed the day after the party these policies had absolutely no affect on anyone's enjoyment of the evening.
'
I have no hesitation in recommending U-nome for any function.
Thanks again,

Dear Naomi
I was very grateful for the service you provided for my daughter`s 18th birthday party.
The party went well and I was pleased to have extra support when my husband was required to leave unexpectedly – it was especially useful to have your presence when we turned the alcohol off (so the bar wasn`t mobbed!) and also when getting all the guests safely off the premises and into taxis.
The pre-party visit was very helpful in identifying potential problems.
I found the whole service to be completely professional and reassuring, and would have no hesitation in recommending it to our friends. I would certainly want to have you around for any similar events at our house.
Many thanks

Kristy's party was a great success.
Possible issues with the neighbours did not happen I believe due to your homework and your initial talk to the relevant people concerned.
Speaking to you prior to the night and knowing possible concerns allowed us to be aware of things which may have caused problems.
While I believe the kids themselves where good kids, having security there kept them in the house and around the back, therefore preventing any issues out the front to the property (which in some cases cause issues for neighbours). I believe the only issues the neighbours would have had is the noise and even that in comparison to other neighbours parties was minimal (and it went off at 12.00, and 99% of the kids left at the same time via pick-up) As we didn't have may adults it was a comfort knowing you were there if any issues came up. The kids themselves may have behaved because they knew security was there. The kids knew they had to ask permission from either Kristy or us prior to asking another guest to come therefore preventing people turning up unannounced.
I have had one of the guests request costing of security for her party if they want other details I will pass on your name.
Thanks again for helping on that night.
Kind regards

Thanks Naomi
I’m happy for you to say:
“Your advice about planning was excellent. It meant that we were properly prepared to manage our guests’ drinking and were ready for whatever might unfold at the party. On the night, all went to plan, and all our guests were fine with the plan you gave us. Having you as a back-up and managing the front door gave us peace of mind about gatecrashers and security generally. When a couple of the guys got a bit ‘boisterous’, you managed them and the crowd every well. Thank you. We had a really successful event.”

Hi Naomi,
Just a note to thank you for the security service provided by U-Nome Security at my daughter’s 18th birthday held at the Doncaster East Community Hall on Saturday night. The presence, courteousness and professionalism of you and your team was really appreciated by my wife and I and also by those parents who dropped off and collected their children.
The pre-party site visit and the advice on guest admission, alcohol, safety and other matters were appreciated. We experienced no problems or gate-crashers and the party went well. The fee is very reasonable too.
I can unreservedly recommend U-Nome Security for that precious ‘peace of mind’ that parents and guests need when holding functions or parties, whether at home or in public venues.

Hi Naomi,
Just a short note to pass on our appreciation for “looking after things” on Friday night. Yours and Dwayne’s presence was re-assuring, whilst not intrusive, and provided enormous peace of mind to help make our son’s 18 birthday party such a success. The pre-party visit provided invaluable tips and assured us we were indeed dealing with a company that focused on their clients best interests. We would not hesitate to recommend your services.
Wishing you continued success in your business.
